Remember also that most of our articles are not controversial - we
should take care not to make rules from special cases.
e.g. [[EXA]] - a minor topic, though significant enough for an article
in its tiny area (3D acceleration for the X.Org X11 server). One of
the references is to a blog! Worse yet, it's the original developer's
blog! Yet I submit there is no reason whatsoever to consider this any
less reliable as a source on this particular subject than a printed
publication would be.
